Last evening about 1890 o'clock the
report reaoh hed the city that bal wreck
bad occurred on the Ft. Wayne railroad,
at what is known as the ''SiX Mile 81.
| ding" between this city and MassillOn.
The details were meagre, but sufficient
WAS LEARNED to warrant representa-
tive Of the DEMOCRAT to Immediately
proceed to the scene of the calamity.
Arriving at the place, 1t was not hard
to discover about what had occurred.
The locomotive, No. 5, going west, haul
ing heavy freight train, and the loco
motive, No. 18, going east with long
train of cattle and other freight,
stood facing each other so closely that
II was almost impossible to determine
when the one quilt and the other begun.
The boilers were one against the other,
and the cOwcatchers and front deCOra-
tiOns were sadly disfiguTed. The cattle
cars suffered the most Of all In the trains.
The first four were reduced to kindling
wood, and dead and dying cattle were
streWn about and tangled In the debris.
A gang Of busy wOrkmen were at work
on the mass, making every effort to clear
the track, which was a matter OF ne
choice labor. Several of the cars con-
tanning cattle were only partly broken
open, and their terrified passengers
were believing about tht wreck, as II
conscious that many Of their number
had been slaughtered.
Meeting one Of the trRinmen the re-
porter was informed that both trains
we're running on orders received In the
usual way from the telegraph Off ,es OF
he company. It was the old, old chest
nut-an operator had made the mistake
At the time of the collision, as near as
could be learned, the trains had sue
ceeded in Stacking their speed to about
a rate Of ten miles per hour. The engl-
Reers and firemen all discovered the
danger In time to escape unhurt, with
the exception Of one engineer, whose
ankle was slightly sprsined. William
was engineer ard George
Reed fireman of No. 5, and James ROm-
NELL and Len Bsrhaw manned 1lS
They all expressed themselves rs feel
ing exceedingly fortunate, a.d de.
nounced the operator for his care
legsness.
The loss Is hard to estimate In dollars
and cents, but will probably reach ten
or twelve Thousand dollars. About 10
head Of cattle were killed outright, and
probably forty others injured, several of |
which will die. All the cattle killed
were billed frOm Chicago to Isaac Dugus |
Of this city. He will undoubtedly re-
cover all damages sustained, bntsnffars
great Inconvenience on account of the |
disaster. II Is said, and denied, that the
operator giving the wrong orders was |
this morning, but as there !
Is dispute In regard 10 the RESPONSE
btlity, the DEMOCRAT does not think \
that 1t would be right to publish sim
pie rumOrs on such an important point.

The attorneys OF Thomas r. Morgan,
of the Alliance Hammer Works, yester-
day fled o petition for an Injunction,
restraining Auditor Manly from placing
certain real estate owned by him on the
tax duplicate as reapprsised by the
Board OF Equalization. The petition
alleges that in 1880 the assessor FIX d
the value OF the property for tax pur-
poses at 1880 and the same was placed
on the duplicate, where 1t has remained
as appraised at that time. On the oath
of June last the Board of Equalization.
without notice tn the plaintiff and with
opportunity for hearing the ques-
tiOna involved, raised the appraisement
to S. 800. The petition further claims
that the action OF the Board was illegal
and void, and asks that the Auditor be
restrained from listing the property at
the figure Fixed by II.
The proceeding Is very unusual one
and should Mr.. Morgan succeed In his
case, 1t might complfcate matters badly

A DELICATE LEG Al QUESTION,
Involving the Control of tho Morgan
County Fair.

Involving the Control Of tho Morgan
County Fair.
A case, involving g delicate legal de-
cisiOn was heard by Circuit Judge
Albsugh Ia Court rOOm No. l Wednes-
day. In Morgan county, belonging to
the fifth jud .cial circuit, OF which Nc
ConnellsVills is the county seat, there
are two County Boards OF Agriculture,
both claiming the right to run the an
nual county fair this year and both
having made preparations for It. The
old Board was organized in 1852 under
the statute of that year providing for
the organization of Agricultural Boards.
The new Board, which was born Of some
local dissensiOn In the old Board was
organized last April under the statute
passed last January. This organization
was made upon the alleged ground that
the old Board was not conducting busi'
ness properly.
In order to obtain control Of the fair
this fall the new Board got an iDjunc'
tiOn In the Probate Court In McCOnnells.
Vile about three weeks ago, restraining
the old Board from conducting the fair
In order to upset this action motion
was made by NJ ssrs. Stewart & IVeTs,
Of NcCOnnellsVille, attorneys for the
old Board, to dissolve the injunction
rnis motion was filed in Circuit Court
here before Judge Albsugh and came up
for hearing Wednesday. The new
Board was represented by Messrs. Met
oalf & Berry. attorneys from McCon
nellsville. The best legal talent OF
Morgan county was represented in the
case. The motion had q full hearing,
being argued all day. At the COnclU
sion of the arguments Judge Albsugh
gave his decision, modifying the ininnc-
tiOn, 80 as to permit the old Board to
hold the annual fair In Morgan county
this year, reserving final decision for
the full court, which convenes In McCOn-
nellsVille In October next.
The decision of Judge Is temporary
victory for the old BOIrd, but cannot be
considered final, as the final decision of
the case involves the cOnstitutiOnallty
Of the statute Of January, 1887.

BaBY'S COMMAND.
BY Lillian d RICE.
lMe.

Just three years old was our baby,
little town maid was she,
A grass plat to her meant country,
A fountain the boundless sea
For all OF her tiny life time
Had passed midst the houses high,
Whose tops, to her childish fancy,
We're part of the arching Sky.
So one August day when his sunship
Was baking the city brown,
We carried her OIL TO the seaside,
Away from the breathless town;
Stripped her of socks and slippers,
Regardless of treckles and tan,
And told her to go and frolic
AS only baby can.
But she stood with her wee hands folded
A speck on the sandy shore,
And gazed at the waves advancing
With laundering crash and roar.
We knew that some thought was stirring
The depth of her little brain,
AS she listened to Gods great organ
Pealing its grand refrain.
At last in her clear child's treble
AS sweet as a robins trill,
With one little finger lifted,
She cried to the sea "Be still"
All, dear little fiir-haired baby,
Like you in this mortal strife,
There's many one made weary
And stunned with the waves of life.
But the pillows Of both, my darling,
Are moved at the Masters will,
And only HIS voice can hush them,
by whispering, peace, be stillW

Injured.
Henry Pahsen, employed as q grinder
In Bucher, Gibbs & Co.'s pl0w shop, was
very severely injured by the bursting Of
a large grindstone at about 10 30 O'Clock
this Thursday morning, which to about
three feet In diameter and probably
eight inches thick, had Just been started
and was running at about full speed
when II burst and piece, probably one
third Of the entire stone, struck Mr.
Pahsen in the breast. hurling him back
into a pile of unfinished plOW shears,
The man was picked up In an uncon-
soI0us condition and carried to a quiet
part of the shop, when Drs. PortmanD
and Morrow soon arrived and dressed
his wounds. The most serious injury
was done to the breast, 1t being feared
by the doctors that the same will prove
fatal. A very ugly cash was also In
fiioted ON his right thigh
by plOw shear in the pile
into which he was thrown. After his
wounds were dressed the unfOrtonate
man was removed to his home, where
he is now heing cared for, with but
small hope of recovery.
Mr.. Pahsen is son-in-l8w OF Mrs.
Doll, the woman who was recently m1r'
dered by her fiend of husband. The
family are eertsily having more than
their share of afilictiOn, and great sym.
pathy Is expressed for them.
